I was playing my game and saw this.......



there shouldn't be 2 "but's" in the scentance.

Well i never got that before.Maybe they made a mistake!!!

there shouldn't be 2 "but's" in the scentance

clearly we all make a mistake once in a while

lol... I picked up on that too Drea, just didn't have the guts to point it out.

Yeah that one officially 'slipped through'. We'll fix it in any updates.

I'm sure the good people here at LDW spent countless hours developing this wonderful game. I hardly think that 1 displaced butt in a SCENTANCE has ruined it for anyone. Besides a "bug" in a game is something that affects how the game plays. If it had only given you 15 tech points, that would have officially been bug.

nothing wrong with pointing out an error, even if it doesn't affect the game. i know that if i had developed this game, i'd like to know about any errors or problems so that they can be fixed, no matter how minor they may be. any improvements that can be made just make the game even better.

You're right about the bugs, it's good to know what needs to be fixed. Am wondering about this one? Why is it that sometimes when you take a kid to a mushroom nothing happens? Is that a glitch or just an unfortunate part of the game? I mean, when the villagers are starving and the mushrooms are basically all that's left and you're furiously hunting them, it's pure joy to find one. But, alas, your kids can't seem to see it! AAARRGGHHHHHH!!!!

Also noticed that occasionally only part of the mushroom grows, so it looks like a little stone laying there on the ground. Just a helpful hint for those who are mushroom hunting, trying to get the next level of farming.

What version of the game are you playing? If you go to the menu screen, you can check the version. There was a problem with the mushrooms in v1.00 that has been fixed in v1.01. If you download the update, make sure that you get it from the same place that you purchased the game, or your registration code won't work.

I got the game from Big Fish games only a week ago, it's version 1.00, went to Big Fish but can't see anything about an updated version. Any suggestions?

Big Fish Games should have v1.01 now. I don't shop for games there, but I would imagine that you could download the demo, which should be v1.01, and install it. If you install it on the same computer, your game registration status should be preserved. If that doesn't work, you could contact their support people.

Thanks!!!!

Just a note for Big Fish Gamers and to verify Barbara's suggestion.

On the big fish game site, there is no indication of an update however the current demo is version 1.01.

And yes, if you install it into the EXACT same folder, Big Fish will automatically register it and you will not loose your games.

Just tried it about three hours ago, went swimmingly. But with no indication of an update (and I am on the update list) it is confusing.

And my kiddies are picking mushrooms now!

thanks for the help, got it now!

Same - no update on the Big Fish site and I am playing version 1.00 from them too. I got mine about the same time ago..

Thanks SaxyT.

Wondering if you still had your villagers after redownloading from BigFish? I'd like to try, but don't want to start from the beginning again...I've grown to like the little guys!

i just did the "try it" button and down loaded again and it updated and i didn't even have to give my key code again didn't loose any of my game very easy

from BFG btw

ok so do you go to the Buy it section or the try it section? just want to make sure I get it right the first time without any stuffing around.

i used 'try it' 'cause i thought after the dnld it would want my key code again but it didn't and my game now has the new verson

Thanks Sunnygirl - worked like a charm- nice and quick and everything still intact - very easy like you said!

Furthermore, shouldn't it read "several of your villagers have BEEN taken ill..."?

If I go and download the Try It, are the people i'm playing with now going to be gone?

This did not work for me. I downloaded the demo version from BFG and installed it in the exact same place. It asked for my registration key so I put in the one I had from here and BFG would not accept it. I lost my whole game because I had to uninstall everything. I guess I did something wrong!

Unfortunately, there are several threads that talk about how to get v1.01, and only some of them mention that you must download the update from the same site where you made your original purchase. Every game site uses their own registration code structure and the different versions are not interchangeable.

This thread was talking specifically about Big Fish Games, but LDW also has v1.01 available for those who purchased the game directly from us.

If you haven't deleted the Virtual Villagers folder, it's possible that your savegames are still there.

Oh Thank You, Thank You! I just started playing this game Saturday and bought it the same day and have so many qustions about it all. But Thank You most of all for the upgrade fix from BFG, it with smoothly and now the problems have gone.

I'm playing version 1.01 - purchased and downloaded Friday night - and my kids never go after mushrooms on their own... aren't they supposed to be doing that in 1.01, or does it just fix their ability to see them when you drop them on one? (Yes - I'm looking for the easy way out, lol.)

Thanks in advance!

I'm already completely addicted - three villages going, and very little sleep thus far... :-)

You can find the answer here.

No, you are sposed to hunt the mushrooms by using the kids. The kids are just there to help, and yes 1.01 fixed the bug where you could not make the kids pick the mushrooms.

Thank you both! I searched that thread, but didn't quite get it. I'm a little slow sometimes, lol. :-)

great that you noticed that..but perhaps.. you should know that you misspelled sentence....

Drea was quoting the previous post - the first post in the thread!

I didn;t open up my crate I was worried that my village would get an illness

I open the crates too, even if I can smell trouble. Gives me something to do to recruit a bunch of healers and spend a few minutes healing villagers.

I opened a crate this morning and 10 of my villagers died instantly including both my healers - what a nightmare! I'm afraid I won't be so bold in the future.

--C

Just download the trial version there, even though it doesn't state which version.. and install to the same directory as your previous version

I'm so grateful I can come here for solutions and quick answers! Thanks for all those who help out. You're the best!!
